It ought but doesn't.-)
If I put
zstyle ':mime:.pdf:' handler 'evince %s'
zstyle ':mime:.pdf.gz:' handler 'evince %s'
into my .zshrc (and "source" it) I get:
zsh: permission denied: the-pdf-file
If I use this line
alias -s gz=zsh-mime-handler
I get
(eval):1: parse error near `&'
in my debian squeeze system with zsh version 4.3.10
